The correct response is: The lowcountry had a higher population than the backcountry.
This is because the lowcountry, with its more developed plantation economy and greater concentration of people, required smaller districts to adequately represent the interests of its larger population. In contrast, the backcountry had a lower population density, which allowed for larger districts.
